"I mean, Novak is coming to Wimbledon": Alcaraz doesn't see chances altered of Wimbledon glory despite Queen's win

Carlos Alcaraz claimed his first grass court title on Sunday afternoon returning to the World No.1 spot at the Queen's Club Championships.
Alcaraz defeated Alex de Minaur 6-4, 6-4 to lift the trophy dispelling previous doubts he had about his grass court prowess.
“It means a lot to me. Being able to win this amazing tournament in my first time that I played here for me is fantastic,” Alcaraz said in his on-court interview. “To know that I’m [capable of] a good level on grass, obviously [to be] champion of every tournament feels special.”

But despite his confidence changing slightly, he still sees Novak Djokovic as the out and out favourite for Wimbledon and doesn't see Queen's changing a lot when it comes to that.
“The chances don’t change so much. I mean, Novak is coming to Wimbledon,” Alcaraz said. “Right now I’m feeling better than the beginning of the week, that’s obvious.
“Of course, recovering the No. 1 before Wimbledon, it gives you extra motivation, it gives you extra confidence coming into Wimbledon. But it doesn’t change too much if I play Wimbledon as the No. 2 or the No. 1.”
